WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump
released a two-and-a-half minute infomercial-style video on Monday that
largely steered clear of his most inflammatory campaign promises to
deport immigrants, track Muslims and repeal President Obama’s health
law.
Instead,
Mr. Trump offered what he called an update on his transition, which he
said was working “very smoothly, efficiently and effectively.” Reading
from a script and looking into the camera, Mr. Trump vowed to focus on

office.
“Whether
it’s producing steel, building cars or curing disease, I want the next

great homeland: America — creating wealth and jobs for American
workers,” Mr. Trump said in the video.

Mr.
Trump delivered a brief middle-of-the-night speech after Hillary
Clinton called him on Nov. 9. And the president-elect sat for a gauzy
interview, surrounded by his family, on CBS News’s “60 Minutes” last

as he assembles his cabinet and White House team.
In
the video, Mr. Trump described his plans to “make America great again”
on Day 1, but his message seemed aimed less at the supporters who
chanted that slogan at rallies and more at the Americans who remain
skeptical about that promise.
The
president-elect appeared to try to emphasize his appeal to those voters
at the end of the video, as he promised to provide more updates as he
worked together with everyone to reach his goals.
“And I mean everyone,” he emphasized.
